For three decades, a torso and legs were all that Turks had to remind them of
one of the more blatant antiquity thefts of the late 20th century.

While the bust of the 1,800-year-old Weary Herakles graced the Museum
of Fine Arts in Boston, its lower parts stood forlornly in Antalya Museum,
near where the statue was discovered.

Now, after four years of negotiation, the American museum has announced that
it will return its half later this year, marking Turkey’s latest victory in
a campaign to get back hundreds of ancient sculptures and artworks pilfered
over previous decades.
